WASHINGTON South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said he is pleased Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is holding up against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Trump is getting better, Graham told reporters Tuesday pointing to the recent polling. You can see a more disciplined message. If he can hold it together for another 8 weeks.
Graham, who ran against Trump in the primary and doubted that the New York billionaire could beat Clinton, appeared impressed that Trump could withstand the amount of political attacks he had taken so far.
Hes had massive political body blows that would knock anybody else out. If he can cross the lines in the eyes of the public and be ready for the job, then I think youre gonna have one hell of a race, Graham added.
Graham and other Republicans in Washington have something to be optimistic about. A number of recent polls show the race between Trump and Clinton narrowing, a development happening as a result of some unsure Republicans who finally decided to support Trump. A new CNN/ORC poll, for example, shows Trump with 83 percent support of Republican registered voters. This is up five points since late July. TheCNN/ORC poll shows Trump leading Clinton by 2 points among likely voters. Clinton previously led Trump by three points in the same poll.
Texas Republican Rep. Pete Sessions, a member who did not endorse Trump until May when three other Texas House Republicans threw their support behind Trump, told The Daily Caller Tuesday that he believes a combination of Clintons troubles and people trusting Trump more than Clinton is key for a GOP victory.

So of course LG will now go out & campaign his ass off for him, right?
Linda is hedging his bets.
Typical hack politician.
Gov. Kasich,,,,get onboard the “Trump Train” now or, forever be remembered as as traitor, truncoat to your freely given pledge of loyalty to support the candidate of the Republican Party. I say this for your benefit.....not Mr. Trump’s. Donald J. Trump will easily win Ohio, with or without you!!!
Go Donald J. Trump!!!
We're saved!
Do I really need a sarc tag?
AMEN! Just what you said...
GOP establishment are going to race to hitch themselves to the Trump bandwagon.
If its a Trump landslide, down the ballot Rs benefit.
They still hate his politics but they love a winner.
By October, you going to hear every Republican officeholder swear they were for Trump all along.
They’re coming home, too.
The two arse hole rinos from Maine, Collins and Poliquin are still with clinton.
Trump has gotten no thanks from McCain, Ryan and Ayotte since his endorsements of them back in Wisconsin a few weeks ago. Useless, clueless RINOs!!!
Sometimes, simply not interfering suffices.
The snakes come slithering back.
They don’t want to be on the wrong side of the power structure, should Trump win.
Sleazy, opportunistic politicians sensing that the political wind is changing direction. They are quietly starting to change their tone and jump on the Trump train, but only after they found themselves in an increasingly small minority.
Very funny, Linda. Pretending to endorse Trump only after his victory has been assured is not going to let you escape your conviction and punishment for treason.
According to the Bible, God is ALWAYS in control, no matter what happens.
Well, as long as Lindsey Graham is confident...
From the article: In Texas 32d district, out of 80,000 votes, 26,132 never had voted in a primary
Can you say monster vote coming?
Ah, Linda is doing what all pols do well, figuring out the direction of the wind. Let the brown-nosing begin...though I don’t think that Trump will buy it, not after November 8. He’ll accept help and allies, but to pay back the Linda-come-latelies isn’t going to happen.
He will remember those who were on board when the Trump Express left the NYC station, he'll remember those who climbed on board midway during the long haul.... and he'll remember those who were frantically trying to hop on and grab a seat just as the train was pulling into the Union Station in Washington, DC. on Nov. 8th.
